R help - Sep 2003 - rpmbuild of src.rpm error

I received an error trying to build R-1.7.1-src.rpm on RH9.0.93 (Severn)
and I was wondering if anybody could tell me what is going on with the
manual error.

cp: cannot stat `doc/manual/R-*.pdf': No such file or directory

I'd look further up the log for an indication of whether the PDF
manuals got built at all. You do have all the TeX tools in place?
